If the car looks tidy, and you drive it courteously - giving people space, allowing them to ovetrake etc, they shouldn't have a problem m8

Won't be able to get up tonight. Need to fix wheel wobble & vaccumm pipe issue
catch you next time
catch you next time
Very good night all round. Some nice 'fast cars' on track. Dry conditions and cool air.
Got some confidence backs after last months washout and really enjoyed 'throwing' the car about.
Good to see the usual auld faces and meet Phil. Must admit the auld girl was a wee tad impressive Done a good job there mate. Just need some serious rubber and top brakes and your sorted.
Got a wee bit of an eye opener. Following a CTR round track, catching him on the twisties, infact holding me up, but on the straights an impressive car...funny how nitrous does that
On issue I had was with my ACD (posted query in technical).
Roll on Croft!!!

Yeah good to see quite a few Evo's at KH tonight, the 3 on track went well. John, thought you had your handbrake on going up the straight behind the CTR, but nitrous explains
Good to meet you Phil, very nice car you have, your lap times were coming down even with Rog as your instructor :crackup: Only joking Rog.
Hope to have mine on at next track night if i can get my efing brakes sorted out.

Yeah, I had a Great time Our S13 ran perfectly - including Dave overtaking the blue Ferarri 360 in it and me overtaking the Noble lol!! :crackup:
BIG thanks to Phil for letting me have a drive of his Motor - Best I managed was 62s - I blame the Nankangs myself :crackup: :blush:
Hope all the evenings troubles get sorted out Phil - here's a vid of me scaring your wife to cheer you up

, no real damage to evo just to my pride. Cheers Rog for lift home ect :coolsm: :coolsm:Apart from that excellent day out good to meet everyone and a few new faces, john robbie ect :coolsm: Car was running not bad! I tried to borrow rog's slicks but the wheel were hitting the brake calipers so i had to run with my £50 a c corner Nanking tyres(made in china) so the grip was **** :crackup: brakes failed after a few laps hard driving so will need to upgrade them soon aswell. Cheers Rog for lessons aswell and scaring my wife :crackup:

Shocker, it was good fun. I'm running std and 230'ish atw and was not really ever going to compete with lighter cars last night. Must admit first time up the straight I thought WTF The back section is my favourite and pose time sliding the car through MacIntyres and Clarke.....all about the grin factor
Elises were too quick as well, especially the mod'd ones. I did sit behind the red CTR and could not get past.
BUT....I really enjoyed it and I'll need to blag a passenger lap from yourself next time.

Was an enjoyable night, some fast cars on track
The two civics were pretty impressive as was the Skyline up the straight :coolsm:

It looked like the black Civic I came up behind in the video was in reverse compared to Phil's EVO - much as I like the Type Rs, they are a full performance category behind the EVO as standard... More of a match for our S13, I think
Like John says, it all about FUN Although Phil's EVO is Awesome, it wasn't any more FUN than my 212ATW EVO (i.e. LESS than both modded Civics at AVA :blush: ) - and with more power, the brakes take more of a hammering - Phil vaporised his DS2500s in about 5 laps :crackup:
Power is weird too - I totally Love the push in the back as 430bhp fire you out of the hairpin in 2nd with full 4wd traction, but a "feather" of the throttle through Duffus lead to about 200bhp more than I wanted being released If you listen carefully enough to the vid, you'll hear me peep the horn by mistake, it gave me such a fright :crackup:
Hope to have a few minor bits & bobs fixed on my EVO, and then boost controller fitted, engine mapped etc prior to the next outing :coolsm:
Cheers
